"Lubuntu is the Ubuntu flavor with the LXQt desktop environment. LXQt uses Qt. For those who don't know, Qt is a powerful, cross-platform development framework used for building native-looking GUI applications that run on Linux, Windows, macOS, and Android. Qt has its own IDE (Qt Creator) and extensive tools and libraries for developing, and the apps are capable of using a single codebase across different platforms and even."
"LXQt is a very fast desktop environment that can give older hardware new life. When I say "very fast," I mean it. LXQt is one of the fastest desktop environments you'll use. One nice aspect of LXQt is that it uses the same kind of desktop metaphor that has been used since the advent of Windows 95: a panel, start menu, system, tray, and clickable icons. Lubuntu was designed to be as simple as possible, while also remaining light, fast, and modern."
"Lubuntu is best suited for those who are either migrating from Windows 10 or are simply trying Linux out for the first time and want to install it on a spare machine. That's not to say you can't install this Ubuntu flavor on a new machine, but given how many PCs are out there that won't run Windows 11, this is an obvious path forward."
Lubuntu and Xubuntu are Ubuntu flavors intended as lightweight distributions. Lubuntu uses the LXQt desktop environment built on the Qt framework, delivering fast performance and cross-platform native-looking GUI applications. LXQt employs a traditional desktop metaphor with a panel, start menu, system tray, and clickable icons, making it familiar to Windows users. Lubuntu targets older hardware, users migrating from Windows 10, or first-time Linux installers by emphasizing simplicity, lightness, and speed. Xubuntu serves the same lightweight purpose but is more configurable. Multiple other Ubuntu flavors exist, including Ubuntu Budgie, Ubuntu Unity, Kubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, and Ubuntu Studio.
